Hi, Stefan! Thanks again for trying to decode my vy weeeak sig. :-)
Unfortunately my TX goes off at 1733 UTC.
Here the WX turned to stormy suddenly: too much wind and rain to mantain a normal antenna current and the WX forecast does not bode well :-/
I hope to come back soon on air....

RR. Thanks for the transmissions. I'd like playing with EbNaut daily.

This night was very noisy with local thunderstorms again. But with all tricks including Paul's iqnorm2 script, i decoded the message. Without that, the Eb/N0 is several dB below the decode limit. Using the -a normalisation feature i improved the Eb/N0 even more. The final result is:

Hi VLF,


Thanks Stefan and Markus for your detailed reports.

Ok Stefan, I'm agree, we can try: a new message started at 1600 UTC, same scheduling for the following transmissions.

QRG: 8270.003 Hz
6 ch.
25 sec./sym
coding 16K21A
CRC 15
duration 7h 53' 20"
antenna current about 600mA

GL and thanks again for your patience :-)


P.S.: now there are some thunderstorms nearby, I hope I won't have to stop the TX :-/


All the best

Here is a corrected and continued list of the results of your transmissions:

PS: You could try to transmit your full callsign for example. It would work here. A higher challenge.

Hi Riccardo,

Now i finally got your message, see attachment. The transmission of tonite 0 UTC was very strong, as i would usually expect.
It must have been the QRN. And now since know the message i can look for the S/N or Eb/N0 of each of your transmissions:

Date Eb/N0 [dB]
09.May_08:00 -1.3
09.May_16:01 -6.1
10.May_00:00 -4.9
10.May_08:00 -6.8
